Peter Anh Pham, 65, founder of a now-closed nonprofit based in Garden Grove, has been indicted on federal charges including wire fraud, bribery, and money laundering. He is accused of bribing former Orange County Supervisor Andrew Do to secure approximately $12 million in pandemic-related funds between 2020 and 2024. Pham allegedly pocketed most of the funds and laundered the money. Additionally, the founders of two Orange County nonprofits, including the Viet America Society, have been indicted on multiple federal charges related to the bribery scandal involving Andrew Do. There are reports suggesting possible links to the Chinese Communist Party in connection with the nonprofit leaders involved.
